Hi Ian Hmmmmm well my first thought was incorrect storage unit for the policies - but you mention other clients appear to be ok - I do wonder if its worth re-creating the storage units again.
In terms of the client machines that appear to hang in Activity Monitor - has anything changed on the client side? (ie: any updates or config changes). Might be worth checking the BPCD and BPBKAR logs if enabled. It potentially could be a client side problem - lack of resources or disk space if you have an open file agent enabled. Restarting of the Netbackup Services (if not done so already) may help! Also, within the policies (if you have not done so), rather than use hosts, could the clients be entered as their IP address - So, if the client is known as COMPUTER1 in the policy, remove it and add its IP of 192.11.11.1 as an example (or whatever its IP is). Stop and restart the client service again Hope this is of some help.

This includes both Active, and Queued jobs. Symantec has told me they think it is a network related issue between my master server and my media server, and to put all the IP addresses of my media servers in the /etc/hosts file (which I have done), but the jobs still fail. Things may work OK for a few hours, and some of my jobs complete, but then all of a sudden, all jobs fail with an error 50. Anyone have any thoughts on this, or seen it before. One a related issue (I think), we are also getting jobs Queued for 1 hour and then failing with 219 errors, even though other jobs may be going to the same storage unit successfully. The 1 Hour timeout is due to a bpsched parameter somewhere, but why do the jobs sit in the Queued state and then after this timeout, fail with a 219 error? Any help on any of this would be very appreciated. This has been going on for over a week now, and we do not seem to be getting very far Ian Fehring Lead Technical Specialist, Storage Management National Australia Bank Level 1, 122 Lewis Rd Tel: +61 (0) 3 9886 2367 | Fax: +61 (0) 3 9886 2700 | Mob: +61 (0)417 520 953 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] National Australia Bank Limited - ACN 004 044 937 This email may contain confidential information.
